PowerEdge M620 - QLogic BCM57810 broken after firmware update

$

Hi

I tried to update my PE M620 blade using official DELL iso image from dell.app.box.com/.../32719678641. After update I reboot blade according guide from iso. Blade hasn't powered up normally after reboot (stuck in bootloop). On CMC I saw messages about bus error. After virtual and physical reseat of server, it powered up normally, but i don't see QLogic BCM57810 devices in BIOS configure menu and ethernet devices in DELL LiveCD. I think that firmware of Ethernet adapters was broken during update. How i can repair firmware of these adapters? lspci tool is showing me NICs when I load Dell Live CD image, but bnx2x kernel module can't be loaded, because firmware is broken.

The RAID 5 lose two of the 3 hard drive and we are in the process of replace them, but we need the CD/DVD with the Windows Server 2008 to install and possible the other missing CD/DVD's.

R910 - on boot fans gradually increase to maximum - very slow performance

$

I purchased a used R910 (no warranty) with the intent of building a VMWare host to work on some credential programs.

It has the X16 backplane.  I got it with one CPU, no HDD, and 32GB RAM.  It would go through the POST process, and I was able to enter the H700 RAID BIOS without issue, but at the end of POST any other course of action (like System Setup (F2) or System Services (F10))  would fail immediately after  POST with a CPU error.

I purchased 2 SLC3Q E7-4830 CPU's & U884K Heatsinks, and installed them with some Arctic thermal compound.

Now when it boots, it POSTs without errors... however.  The fans start out on the lowest speed, and immediately following the Dell Logo screen at the beginning of the POST gradually increase one step at a time until they are at max RPM (6,000+).  I can get into BIOS setup and configure things without issue.  I can get into System Services, but everything is very very laggy, and attempts at firmware updates fail.

I am quite familiar with some of the smaller Dell servers (1850's through R430s), but this beast is a new animal to me.

Hope it is not a bad motherboard, but can anyone recommend some steps to determine the issue?

Please let me know if more information would help!

Thanks!

R620 CPU Temps

I have an R620 with 2x E5-2670 and the temps are 70c and 60c at idle with CPU utilization at 1%. Running Windows Server 2016 Essentials. Everything looks good in the enterprise iDrac7. No warnings or messages. All the fans work and are pushing 4000+/- rpms each. The heat syncs are correct with new thermal paste. I just bought the two CPUs from esiso. I find it hard to beleive that they would sell me damanged CPUs. Any ideas guys?

R730 VSAN HCL QLOGIC 57810 Cant find FW version 12.13?

Hi guys.

The VMware hardware compatibility list has recommended that we use FW version 7.13 for our NICs for our R730s. The card shows up as QLogic 57800 10 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.

www.vmware.com/.../detail.php

The trouble is, i cant seem to see any firmware higher than 7.12.19

Dell Download R730

The driver on the Dell ESXi 6.0 U3 image is 2.713.10.v60.4

At this rate I will have to downgrade the driver to 2.712.10.v55.4 manually so we can be under a supported configuration.

Anyone else ran into similar issues with getting their Dell servers to match the VMware compatibility list?

2.713.10.v60.4

IDrac Warnings

Hi there,

we are running a PowerEdge R730 remotely on a campus of university abroad.
We have iDRAC 8. I access via web interface.

Lately I got weekly at the week end warning messages like the following

System Host Name: localhost
Event Message: Login attempt alert for NULL from NULL using NULL, IP will be blocked for NULL seconds.
Date/Time: Sun Sep 17 2017 00:41:14
Severity: Warning

Detailed Description: The account identified in the message is temporarily disabled because of consecutive unsuccessful Login attempts to iDRAC from the IP address identified in the message.
Recommended Action: Contact the iDRAC administrator and make sure the username and password credentials used are correct. Check the Lifecycle Controller Log (LC Log) to see if more unauthorized iDRAC access attempts are occurring than would be expected due to forgotten account names or passwords.
Message ID: USR0034

System Model: PowerEdge R730
Service Tag: 153Yxx86xx2
Power State: ON
Operating System: VMware ESXi 5.5.0 build-1623387
System Location: Slot 1 (2 U)

At weekend I get approximately 20 warning messages. Starting
for instance at 14:00 o clock I get a message like so every two minutes.
In the life cycle logs there are no further login attempts logged.
I only have one admin user which still works. What is behind this ?
Is it maybe a bot net assault ? How can I protect my server.

Any info, how to would be fine … !

Looking forward to your answers.

Cheers,
Thor

3 drives in predicted failure as per Dell OMSA

$

Hello,

Dell OpenManage Server Administrator is reporting 3 drives in predicted failure in regards to one of our clients RAID's. We had one of our engineers on-site one month ago and he reported the drives health as normal then. I have checked the logs and saw nothing that would indicate anything going wrong with the drives.

Basically, I would like to verify as to whether Dell OMSA is reporting these details correctly or not, because we do not want to have the client purchase new drives if not needed.

Thank you

Though I received access denied in the PowerEdge HW forum this morning, this has been happening in other forums, sometimes on particular messages other times on a particular forum, seems intermittent through out the day.

I added a card to add more USB3 ports to my T430 and it appears to cause random system crashes and reboots. It is a powered card from inateck: 7-Port USB 3.0 PCI-E Card KTU3FR-5O2U

Are there any "approved" USB3.0 cards for the t430?

Thanks,

We're trying to upgrade our PowerEdge 6950 with 4x AMD Opteron 8387 CPUs, but I can't get it to boot.  I've tried one, two, and four CPUs.  They're all matched, and we've made sure the RAM is good.

Any ideas?  BIOS is up to date.

Request: DRAC5 firmware update with SSL/TLS update

$
0
0

DRAC5 firmware 1.65 and below are vulnerable to multiple attacks including BEAST and POODLE. Please provide a new firmware version with a web server that:

• disables SSLv3 and TLS 1.0

• enables TLS 1.2

• disables RC4

• No longer uses common DH primes

More details can be see by putting your hostname into the SSL Labs test tool at https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/.

Further, update the remote console so it works with Java 1.8 without the jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms and jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms workarounds.

I understand that this is old hardware. Considering the number and severity of the problems, I ask that you reconsider and ship a new upgrade.

Dell T620 server right side cover is stuck - how do I get it off?

$

The right side cover became latched without the bottom being inside the server.  Now when you press to release the side, nothing happens. The side swings open from the bottom and not latched there at all.  If I have to force it off that's fine, just need to know where to push on this thing.
